I'd argue that so far, that's exactly the point, their response makes it worse. "We have thoroughly investigated this technology and do not find any evidence to substantiate security concerns" is a laughable statement to have issued. I can understand the legal reasons for not admitting to the security issues. But outright saying that they can't find anything to suggest they exist indicates a company I wouldn't want to do business with. To expand on that, in this case I know enough about the subject matter to understand that it's ridiculous to suggest there aren't security concerns. But I can't guarantee this will be the case for other problems. So going forward I'd probably avoid being a customer of a company who I have positive proof is prepared to issue blatantly incorrect statements about security issues.

I also had to laugh when Jobs started talking about "antenna gate". Instead of saying "We made a mistake here" he started saying "other phones have similar problems", etc. So his response wasn't good, but people still buy Apple and Apply is currently the largest company by market cap...

  An antenna doesn't pose a security hole. Bullshit about antennas in other phones is Apple's traditional humbleness deficit, bullshit about compromised SSL connections is a criminal lie.

> "We have thoroughly investigated this technology and do not find any evidence to substantiate security concerns" is a laughable statement to have issued. Why o why does "investigated this technology" even imply that somebody (technical) looked at it? Lead: Hey vendor, is your product secure? Vendor: Sure it is. It helps people find products they want. Lead: Aye! That's cool. Deal! Vendor: Aye! Let's hand it off to the mere mortals to implement the plan... Customer (formerly known as lead): Nice doing business with you. I like we have a relationship based on trust and honesty.
